During the “Summer of Freedom” (1964) in Tupelo, Mississippi there are stirrings of the growing civil rights movement. Though growing up in a single-parent home with a paralyzed, polio-stricken mother has matured 13-year-old Diana Dunn in many ways, she cannot completely understand why a group of “northern trouble makers” are trying to change the status quo. Her perception is that everyone – black and white – is content and accepting of life as it has always been, and that “prejudice” and “inequality” doesn’t exist in her world. During this eventful summer, she learns that the inability to accept “differences” is all around her – and it is not just limited to skin color.
